Why do boomers like to behave like that?

[cyke69sg]

Its the Singapore system that is difficult to change. It's a 'box' system with an ultra rigid definition of 'success'.

I avoid having my family follow the 'system' which I find it miserable.

Me too. I reject the Singapore way of life.

I am realistic and know money is important
But it should not be the only thing in life.

The SIngapore flat and condo is already SO TINY and yet need someone else to clean? It's a joke.

1. Very kaypoh. Like to ask where you stay, marriage status, job, where you work. 2.will feel sorry for you if you tell them you are single and try to matchmake you as if I want to get married 3. Like to give advice and think ownself is big ****. 4. Very entitled and kiasu. Expect people to por them. 5. Very loyal to company. Many work in same company until retirement. I told them I quit job to rest and switch industry and they thought I am siaolang

Often we say mum has the best food even when we go out to eat.

Whenever I cooking for my kids, I often think about my late mum. How she once needed to cook for a family of more than a dozen pax, how much food ingredients she needed to prep, the heavy weight of the pots and pans to handle, etc. My heart filled with thankfulness whenever I am cooking in the kitchen and thereby cooking my food with love = intangible.

It's a good deal.

You still get what I am saying.

There are some things that to me are things I should do ony own and not delegate it. I take responsibility.

When I start delegating and thinking someone else can do it for me. Cheap. Convenient. That's where my values and priorities will change.

Where do you draw the line? Right?

Anyway bro I totally understand where you are coming from. All my relatives in SGhave maids
Friends in SG have maid.

But sometimes I hear their complaints about the maid I chuckle.

Something cannot find? Ask the maid. Maybe she stole it?
Clothes damaged by washing machine. Scold the maid.
Car Not clean enough tell maid clean again.
Wear and tear in house. Faucet broken. Furniture show wear. Blame the maid. Bad maid.

Aiyo. There is no such thing in my household.
And I like it this way.

Your values are 15 degrees weather and 50% humidity.

Our values are 35 degrees weather and 99% humidity

I step out of my air con bedroom already got sweat dripping down.

Big difference. When I stay in Oz, no problem everyday got energy run to Bunnings buyed things to fix.

Is excuse
I lived in SG and had kids too. But our condo only 1000+sqft 2 toilets. So fast clean finish. I would even go back home during lunchtime to vaccum and mop. Then night time wash toilet. Done. So simple.

I step out of my air con bedroom already got sweat dripping down.

I know the feeling and hate it too. But that's life in SG
Choosing not to do housework is a choice. Not a necessity.

Big difference. When I stay in Oz, no problem everyday got energy run to Bunnings buyed things to fix.

In Oz you clean your own house? Wash toilet? Why not hire maid applying the same logic and reasons you used in SG? Who wash toilet in your house in Oz?

Boomer like to call me 小鲜肉 and try to matchmake me. They say I don't look my age and treat me as ginna and order me around

Good wah means chiu jin handsome la

 

[Shion]

can just ignore them la

 

[Mountainnodew]

Moi don’t mind someone to be interested in moi’s life sometimes. Even if you share with them, they won’t remember it and save it inside their long term memory. Some ask so that to start a conversation going or being concerned for you.

1. Very kaypoh. Like to ask where you stay, marriage status, job, where you work. 2.will feel sorry for you if you tell them you are single and try to matchmake you as if I want to get married 3.

I told them I quit job to rest and switch industry and they thought I am siaolang

Umm, they have a reason to question you because even I find it weird. I wonder why you did that. You should take unpaid leave to rest, not quit totally. I do have subordinates who want a good rest, they just take one month unpaid leave, go back Myanmar/Thailand rest and see family. After one month come back loh.

No point posting this kind of things la.

They also think your generation are weaklings and cant take hardship.

Its an issue of generational perspectives.
